[Gnumed-devel] self.locked in gmTmpPatient

[Karsten Hilbert]

Sorry Syan,

but this got nothing to do with thread interlocking (which may
become necessary but isn't in the design at the moment).

I do admit to not having documented this except for, perhaps,
an odd posting somehwere so here goes:

When controlling GnuMed from third-party applications it will
be necessary to lock GnuMed into the patient selected by the
controlling application. It is dangerous to allow the user to
change the active patient in that GnuMed instance since the
controlling application will still think it deals with the
initial patient. This is what gmCurrentPatient.locked is used
for.
